Short: V2.2 Update of AmigaTalk (Smalltalk GUI)
Uploader: jimbot@frontiernet.net (The Author)
Author: jimbot@frontiernet.net (James T. Steichen)
Type: dev/lang
Version: V2.2
AmigaTalk V2.2 is a version of 'Little Smalltalk' (V1.0 by Tim Budd) that
has been re-written & enhanced for the Amiga line of computers.
James T. Steichen, Copyright (c) 1998-2002.
Be sure to have the sound turned on when you start the program!
(It's called AmigaTalk for a reason!)
WARNING:
~~~~~~~
There are some things that I can no longer test due to the fact
that my System has a CyberVision 64D graphics card & is using
the cybergraphics.library (et al). I would appreciate some
feedback about problems that you might find, since I will not
always be able to find them.
The system is currently NOT fully documented (especially IFF & BOOPSI
Classes), so expect to see some holes in the documentation.
I did NOT go back & verify that all the Test files still work as
shown.
REQUIREMENTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~
AmigaTalk uses DeckBrowser which is Copyrighted (c) by InovaTronics.
I've included a copy of it with my distribution. It should be placed
in the command path where the Amiga OS can find it (example: 'C:')
68040 or better microprocessor. (68000 or 68020 available upon request).
20+ Mb of RAM (or you can edit the AmigaTalk:c/InitializeCommands
script & delete the instantiations for Intuition Tags,
DosSystem Tags & DataTypeSystem Tags & drop this
number down to 4 Mb of RAM).
AmigaDOS 3.5+
Hard disk (5MB of space).
HISTORY
~~~~~~~
For Version 2.2 the following enhancements/bug fixes were
made:
* Fixed the install script (by deleting the History.txt copy
action & including the Images directory in the distribution).
* Added Status Window coordinate bookeeping to the AmigaTalk.env
file.
* Added more error detection code to initialization of the
AmigaTalk screen code so that the Command & Status window
will fill whatever screen you select. I've been able to check
almost all screen modes that the CyberVision-64D uses (except
for 16-bit 1024 * 768, which shows a black screen).
AmigaTalk will not let you use a Screen smaller than 640 * 400,
so don't try to. If you rename AmigaTalk.env, AmigaTalk will
use the coordinates from your Workbench screen (or whatever
screen is active).
* Added a ScreenModeID ToolType to the Icon (default: 0x40D20001).
See AmigaTalk:help/History.guide for the rest.
